Because the LORD hath sworne] Heb. the hand upon the throne. By which may be meant, either that Amalek presumptuously endevoured to make an assault upon the Throne of God, in setting upon his people to ruine them; in whose deliverance and defence, he had engaged the glory of his Throne, and the power of his Scepter in a perpetuall warre against Amalek: or that Moses had taken a solemn oath (as it were laying his hand upon Gods Throne) for asseveration and assurance, that he and the people will have an unreconciliable warre with the posteritie of Amalek.
